Motorhoming in Lozère


Motorhoming in Lozère


The Lozère is the only one of the five departments of Languedoc Roussillon which is landlocked.  It is an area which is not very well known but which possesses non the less its own particular richness.

In the north west of the department is an area known as ‘Le Gevaudan’, ancient mountainous lands which played their part in the formation of Lozère. To discover this area while you do some motorhome travel in France, you can follow a route, around 30km, from Buisson in the north to Banassac la Canourgue in the south.  The first stop is the Parc des Loups de Gévaudan, the wolf park in the pretty village of Sainte-Lucie.  Moving on to Marvejols, a town which was reconstructed by Henry IV in the 17th century after its destruction during the religious wars of the period.  You can tour the sights of the town which will reveal the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan.  The next stop is the Château de Baume which is known as the Versaille of Gévaudan and the neighbouring summit of the Roc de Peyre which will provide you with a spectacular view over the surrounding area.  Take in the picturesque villages of Chirac, Monastier and Banassac la Canourgue to finish the tour.

Stop over in the free Aires de Service in Lozère if you want to head south to the Gorges of Tarn.  Here, several circuits are proposed which allow you to discover this area by following the green valleys of the Tarn.  If you are hiring a motorhome in England or hiring a motorhome in France, you can follow the roads of these circuits to discover châteaux, panoramic viewpoints and picturesque villages.  Equally if you want a rest from driving you follow the river on foot either along its banks or on the footpaths which follow the steep sides of the valley.

The Lozère is a big livestock rearing area and produces a wide range of cheeses made from cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s milk.  There is also a local speciality made from snails which are found on the vines.  The local lamb is grilled over vine wood and is renowned for its succulence and you can finish it all of with a desert made from the local almonds and lemons.

Plenty of reasons to carry on along the road and do some motorhoming in the Gard!
